HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHEREAS, the State of Texas exists to protect the lives, |
|
|
liberty, and property of all its citizens, born and unborn; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, the Government of the United States of America |
|
|
exists to do the same; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, the Declaration of Independence states that "all men |
|
|
are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with |
|
|
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and |
|
|
the pursuit of Happiness;" and |
|
|
WHEREAS, since the beginning of time only societies of the |
|
|
most barbaric and cruel nature have condoned the willful slaughter |
|
|
of their own children; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, the recent passage by the State of New York of the |
|
|
Reproductive Health Act (S2796) cruelly infringes on the |
|
|
unalienable Rights of the citizens of New York, both born and |
|
|
unborn, by legalizing infanticide; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, the recent statements by the Governor of Virginia |
|
|
condoning infanticide would be considered heinous and evil in any |
|
|
civilized society; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby condemn the actions of the State of New York in passing |
|
|
legislation permitting infanticide; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby condemn the statements of the Governor of Virginia condoning |
|
|
infanticide; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby respectfully urge the United States Congress to pass the |
|
|
Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S.130). |
